Cable Cross and Functional Trainers
Important: A minimum of ½” (13mm) of the cable bolt must be engaged into the adjustable pulley
sleeve/pulley carriage.
Cable Tensioning Procedure:
1. Remove the cable bolt
2. Turn down so ½” (13mm) of engagement is achieved
3. Tighten the jam nut using an adjustable wrench
4. Check the cable ball end measurement. Proper tension should leave 20mm of clearance at the
widest point on the pulley guard as pictured below
5. Adjust the cable bolt down as needed. Always ensure to tighten the jam nut with a wrench when
you are done
6. Set or Pre-stretch the cable by attaching a short handle to the ball end of the cable then pin 50-60
lbs. on the weight stack
7. Do 5-10 reps at a rapid rate but do not allow the weight stack to crash down. You want to keep
constant tension on the cable
8. Check the cable ball end measurement. Proper tension should leave 20mm of clearance at the
widest point on the pulley guard as pictured below
9. Adjust the cable bolt again as needed. Always ensure to tighten the jam nut with a wrench once all
adjustments are made
Note: Aura Functional Trainers have a pulley adjustment on top of the weight stack as well.
